I know you have all heard the tired Joseph Goebbels quote about telling an "even bigger lie" such as:
"One myth that’s out there is that what we’re doing is printing money. We’re not printing money."
"The money supply is not changing in any significant way. What we’re doing is lowering interest rates by buying Treasury securities."
Ben Bernanke
So instead of yet again repeating it in the context of the Chairsatan, Benron, Bernank, Helicopter Pilot etc. I thought I would dig up a Herr Goebbels for Idiots guide to the fine art of propaganda and see roughly how the all knowing one, who apparently once said "[n]ot all information is beneficial...", stacks up.
The point of this little exercise is the propaganda, not the religious, racial or holocaust aspects of Nazism. Hitler and his cohorts were undisputed masters of public manipulation. There is nothing disrespectful of analyzing the similarities of their methods. I am certainly not the first to draw this parallel.
I was initially reticent about making these kinds of comparisons. However, as events continue to unfold, I have concluded that the preponderance of evidence adequately supports the view that Messrs. Bernanke and Co. deserve to be branded as modern day fascists, despots, crony socialistas or the like. He is a mad renegade who holds himself accountable only to his own academic vanity.
.
Let me ask you a question, do you think a guy who makes statements like this: "I wish I'd been omniscient and seen the crisis coming," is willing to consider any view contrary to his own?
Next time around there will be no ears for this kind of self serving bullshit.
